Old About Avatar's and How to get one!

Ok, I have a request for an avatar. I am getting tired of my current avatar (no offense V2010, I liked it when I was playing Civ a lot, but now I have no time . . . as you well know). Anyway, I want it to incorporate the Canadian maple Leaf somehow. And I mean the 11 (I think?) tipped leaf found on the Canadian Flag. I can get one for you guys if you need one to work with. I am not exactly sure how I want it portrayed, maybe on a Shield, maybe with a sword . . .

Ohh, maybe the Leaf in the middle, with a yellow sun behind it, that would be cool. I will think of more ideas, but I think it is time for an avatar change, no offense, as previously stated, to V2010.

I can work on that a bit later...I got a sick kid....soooooo....off to play mommy for a bit

Nice job Plexus... yours looks about as clean and legible as it's gonna get!

I hope the cub feels better soon!

Ok, RG... I just goofed on this for ideas....

Working with the Canadian maple leaf made me feel so dirty...

@ Plexus, hehe. I like the top one, but maybe just the sun in the sky, like pure sun, no birds, etc. The Mountains in the second one is kinda neat.

@ Raijer. Nice, very neat. I like the colours. Pardon my sheer ignorance, but that is a sunrise or set?

Overall: They looks great, thanks I would have to say Plexus's Leaf looks better (no offense Raijer), I like the Red Leaf. I wouldn't mind seeing it on a shield, if that is not too much to ask. Although, it doesn't need to be pure red, could be translucent . . .

No offense taken. I think Plexus' ideas look great. I especially like the one right above. I thought that keeping the leaf "red" would be too obvious, but now that I see it in context with the sunset, I agree with you RG. The Red Leaf is the way to go.

Nice job Plexus!

Here's a first stab at a shield:

Anyone what to take a crack at shielding my bird?

I'm interested in someone making me a suit-wearing chimp avatar...

But not the one that Amenhotep uses.

 

[Plexus]

While not wearing a suit per se, I couldn't resist.

He's got a nose for news, and a diaper full of headlines... He's Editor In Chimp!

just the shield? or the works??? (edit: when adding swords the bird becomes to small to see in 65x65)

playing a bit between taking care of sick kids I'll just keep "editing" this post with the new ones I come up with...

Here's a generic radioactive monkey:

Ohh, i like the selection. I think I will choose the following for Avatars, and just randomly change them (I love them all, they are all so good!!!)

1) Plexus, that Leaf against the sun is perfect, excellent, I think I will start off with that one . . .

2) Raijer, nice looking shield, I will definitely use that one.

3) Lyonesse, I really like the Leaf against the sun and the grey shield, not too fond of the swords. Awesome!!!

4) Gogf, no, no, yours is great!!! I like how the Flag was incorporated into a shield.

Thanks a bunch all you guys!!! I will just kinda use them all, and randomly change them.

 

[Raijer]

You're welcome RG! And thanks for the plug in your sig... that was tre' cool of you! I think the av you're using now (the final Plexus one) is my favorite... it looks great!

 

[Plexus]

Wow, thanks for all the compliments guys, I guess I'm my own worst critic, eh?

 

[Gogf]

@Archer: here is my attempt:

Anyone wanna make some kind of a duck avatar for me?

No matter really, as long as it is a cool duck.

Or a duck that you put in the bath tub, one like that could be cool too.
